I have shared part of my life with people before, but I have never went real in depth on my blog. From 1993 to 2004 my parents owned and operated a 11 greenhouses. My sister and I helped my parents. While I may not have appreciated it then, I do now. I feel that with my parents business I gained my work ethic, knowledge about plants, customer service skills, and much more. I can go to other green houses and tell what a plant is(for the most part) without looking at the tag.
So when Red an Alpha E Active asked me to help her with flower bed in the front of the house, I was ecstatic! We went to Meijer picked up some plants and started around 9:30 am working. We pulled rocks and garbage out of the soil, added some more soil and nutrients back into the soil, and then used some bricks to edge the flower bed. Then we planted and transplanted some of the flowers that we in other flower beds. I took out all my stress and aggression on the dirt, but then used my nurturing caring side when I planted the flowers. I had pollen and dirt everywhere and I LOVED it!
I felt like a new calm had taken over and everything was right in the world. G. noticed this and said "our next home has to have at least one flower bed, because he hasn't seen me this happy".
The four day Holiday weekend is just what I needed. I did some house work, went to some garage sales, relaxed, played some video games, had dinner with my family, and spent some time with G. Lately, we have had an amazing time together! This weekend we talked about the future and our "plan" for it!
I have some more recipes coming soon ... I just have to revamp them a little bit!
As always stay strong, love one another, and keep cooking!
